An Evening with Kevin Smith

I know I saw this, I just don't remember how it went exactly. Something like "I can't get erections because my thigh fat blocks blood flow to my genital region." *takes huge bite from block of Wisconsin super sharp cheddar*

There is no one else I could watch speak at a podium for 4 hours, but 4 hours just isn't enough, I want MORE MORE MORE KEVIN.

Smith speaking candidly, is funnier than 90 percent of his movies.

A great Q&A from a director who doubles as an excellent storyteller. The first and best of Kevin Smith's trilogy of "Evenings".

There are so many great hilarious stories on these DVDs, something that pretty much anyone can enjoy. The stories will also stick with you for a while, notably how insane Prince is.

Enjoyable compilation of Smith’s one man tour is hampered by extreme overlength, and a subsequent lack of focus and momentum, which would have helped this play better in the canned environment – there is far too much material included which would come to life in the “live” setting that just doesn’t play well pre-recorded. Highlighted by Smith’s warm and witty tales of movie production, especially the very entertaining story involving Jon Peters.

Kevin Smith is a way better stand up comedian than he is a director, and his anecdotes are comedy gold. But arguably I'll remember this for the audience. It seems that nothing brings out the worst in humanity like an American college, although to be fair, you could argue that this audience is what Smith's movies deserve.

Ooooo! Who makes your hockey shirts, Kevin? How did you get to be so fat, Kevin? Why do you keep making shit movies, Kevin? I really want to know!

Kevin Smith is a pretty great storyteller, with or without a camera, and he offers some very funny, very revealing anecdotes and the like, presumably off the top of his head. The stories get longer and longer into this flick, and the one about trying to make a Superman movie has me worried about Hollywood execs (not that I wasn't before).

I mean, I love listening to the man talk so, y'know, how can I really score it much less than this?
